Legend has it that around a hundred years ago, a brilliant dodo named Mathurin escaped the clutches of an outdated routine and soared towards a promising future aboard a giant balloon, his tiny wings preventing him from flying high enough on his own. Mathurin dreamed of finding an ideal land, rich enough to create a rum with a unique flavor. In the middle of the Indian Ocean, he discovered the verdant island of Mauritius, which offered the best soil conditions for growing sugarcane. The first distillery was established in the north of the island. Lazy Dodo Rum XO Chronicles is a tribute to Mathurin, with a touch of nostalgia for the past!
